Update task completion

- As project begins to move forward…and we're managing it with OmniPlan,…tasks are not static.…They get completed.…We move through our tasks…toward accomplishing our whole project,…and we're going to spend quite a bit of time…talking about managing projects,…but while we're talking about tasks specifically…I wanted to look at the ways…in which tasks proceed through their completion.…So the first way to do this is very, very easy…because it's part of the constellation of popups…that come up when we roll over a task.…

And it's this one right here.…This little drag point.…So if we want we finish day one of the project…and a good portion of our concept board is done,…we can indicate that by moving this forward…and say, "Yep, one day later, we have one day of work done."…Now we're a little more complex…because we've got this feedback round also going…so maybe some of that time has been spent…but not all of it so we could move that forward to hours.…

There's going to be some other ways…we could manage this feedback round.…

Expertly manage your projects with OmniPlan 3, the popular Mac-based project management software. This detailed training course first explores the OmniPlan interface, explaining how to use the powerful Gantt chart visualizations to grasp the whole project. It also explains how to work with project and project elements, including tasks, milestones, and dependencies. Author Jason Osder then takes a deep dive into working with tasks: setting durations, grouping, splitting, connecting tasks with dependencies, and more.

The course explains how to most efficiently create and assign resources, including grouping resources, assigning duration and effort, and modifying individual schedule expectations. Learn how to use views; track project progress with critical paths, Gantt charts, and baselines; and configure different project settings. Chapter 9 shows how to work with OmniPlan Pro's expanded feature set, including Monte Carlo simulations and the multiproject dashboard.
